BLEEP! Glad people are walking away from that! Who went under Dixon's fling car?

So lucky the barrier hit behind the roll bar. Indycar accidents are terrifying. And I'm glad the rear wheel guards are going because they did nothing again.

They can praise the survival cell all they want (and it DOES a good job) but luck (where and how does he land) plays at least as big a factor in Dixons survival.
-- That was Helio going under Dixon indeed. |

Just now noticed that Helio went under the flying Dixon. Scary and lucky that wasn't worse all around, to include the photographers close to the fence.

Blimey!. I was just thinking there hasn't been a yellow and then this. It's amazing how strong the tub of the DW-12 is.

Helio did an incredible job holding that. On the grass at 200mph and held it.

So much for getting a quick one in. Now that we know everyone is relativley okay (outside of Dixon's undershorts), my eye goes back to the weather. Storms are popping up to the northwest. "Future radar" is clear-ish.
Edit: photog getting carted off, but appears okay. |

Really happy to see Dixon walk away.
Also so happy to see Alonso up front. This and then Le Mans in a few weeks. All a motorsport fan could ever want. |

Yellow stops and the 2x world champ comes in first and goes out first. Good on him and his crew.

Lots of erratic driving in the pack. Everyone is manic for this one.

Daly in the wall, crazy action in the pack
The angle of jack harveys accident was terrifying, so nearly hit one of the safety vehicles. |

Andretti cars cranking up the downforce appears to have paid off. Looking very strong.

Anyone see the safety truck almost pull out in front of the spinning Harvey?! Oh my that was scary close.
He was half way out before he stopped. Edit: Sorry, missed this in my excitement. Crazy stuff today. Last edited by fieldodreams79; 28 May 2017 at 17:52. |

Unfortunately that's where I will have to leave it. Off to see Iron Maiden but I can still follow to an extent on my mobile. Go Alonso, make history.
